To cut or not to cut these spikes... Male
Default To cut or not to cut these spikes...

Hey all. I dont want to delve into the whether or not to cut a spike question, but more to ask about these specific phals. I didn't know if they are like normal hybrids where its best to cut, or like violacea and others where it's best to leave it.
The first is a Phal Cranberry Queen (venosa x cherokee cheif). The last bloom is sadly about to fall, but I wasn't sure if this is one of the types you should leave the spike as it's a frequent rebloomer or not.
The second is a Phal Fancy Free 'scarlet spring' (I believe the parentage to be aileen stoops x ??). Also in bloom right now, but unsure of what to do with the spikes.
Thanks!
